december third one thousand nine hundred eighty four the night we can never forget . when they can and i see gas from this union carbide factory made people sleep forever. those who are no more today the people they use. those mothers and sisters who were sleeping bad night in their homes. the gas leakage from the union carbide made them sleep forever. anderson go to hell union carbide go to hell.

for so many years who's been drinking poisonous water even today the water is still poisonous and all of our children are sick. of them and the entire community split up with a problem that is why we will keep fighting until her agreement to all demands the fine to continue. inoculated for a gas leak from

a union carbide corp factory in bhopal killed up to twenty five thousand people it was one of the world's worst industrial accidents more than thirty thousand people are believed to have died from the effects of toxic chemicals released into the air from this factory the union carbide plant in the central indian city the book. on up on the contaminated water is making our lives how they're going to get even that. all those of tons of stuff that we just live betty that is three forty six tons of waste everything that warehouse additives thousands of tons of waste on the surface of the fact that provides. was the plant that was responsible for causing the world's worst industrial disaster and now it had been abandoned in

a condition where it had become a source of pollution or the most recent study that was done shows that this water pollution is spreading more than three and a half thousand died in the immediate aftermath of the disaster after inhaling the fuse thousands more which it perishes toxin seeps into the ground around the plant poisoning water supplies. but it has been twenty seven years and there is still no proper or secure detox for cation or treatment of the soil and the neutralization of the chemical toxic waste still not being done. yet the government gas relief minister bubble is claiming there are no more sick people and that the factory is clean and that one hundred percent of the people are drinking one hundred percent pure water these are complete lies groups working with

affected children see that children today are ten times more likely to be born with birth defects in children in the rest of the country. you know. there are kids being born like this there are many kids like this in my own area there are many kids like this. by refusing to be poisoned in their water and soil. pollution is committing crimes crimes on a large number of people if you respiratory problems heart problems i problems. the ratio of patients are increasing by the day. people are still suffering the. there are people dying and the next generation is getting affected the horrific condemned

to malformations they're born with so the fact that the suffering hasn't ended and that injustice continues and the individuals in agencies responsible for these. mass disasters remain unpunished.

cruise liner of union carbide. not much. furthur layer of paper a layer of oil and it would still be hot. if you don't think we. are burning. in god made globalization is this american transnational that was involved in the

war was. in the midst of what's called the green revolution you mean god by decided the best to save manufacturing you need to. get started in the war seventies or the formulation just mixing different bits to say. back in degraded reduction of methods of same. and they knew right in seventy two there'd be method as without a plan they were building in what would be untested technology in their own words and that its safety was not known. fifty thousand injured have been counted but up to two hundred thousand may be affected in the long term cerebral palsy has begun to affect the survivors the

doctors hardly know how to relieve the suffering they're not sure exactly what was in the lethal cocktail of gases so it's difficult to prescribe effective metson work for a funeral pyres is becoming scarce so fifty bodies are being burnt at a time in mass cremations. if there are many chemicals found in the water around here which were once used in the union carbide factory. bodies were every time it rains the toxic waste which is lying on the surface of the factory goes deep inside the earth and pollutes the soil. because surface which is contaminated and the chemicals which are in the earth needs to be removed and to talk suffice to be very good here otherwise the pollution will continue and people will keep using polluted water and that is very

dangerous and mark. thank. you. but. i'm not a nun my name is salam bubble but people call me brother salome and. two i have a small business where you know if we are daily wage earners. but

i have no savings here walkway whatever does get saved is spent on medicine. her condition used to be much better. she used to go to the market go for walks and play around with. she used to laugh and have fun there were no problems. of some time later on we noticed but she couldn't sit up on her own or turnover of

your kind about meaning but here. slowly she started looking depressed. and when we would talk to her she would not reply. so we brought her to the doctor the doctor said she's been like this since birth and there might be some treatment for her mean the.

leg. length i. wealthy british style sun. sometimes. markets why not scandals find out what's really happening to the global economy

with mike's conjure for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into cars a report on our. line. would be soon which brightened a few pounds from the finest impressions. means for instance on t.v. don't come.

on today we are at a point where we wanted to do a lot but we can't do much. for the people that has an ending because people. there are more than hundred thousand people. and there's a thousand people who have been forced to drink contaminated water for the last fifteen sixteen years when you see that the next generation is affected then you do not know when it will stop. in my eyes this hospital is of no use all the doctors here use this too it's like

putting your child's life in danger it's a waste of time and money. here at the hospital money talks. if you give money and should be looked after. we are poor people and we don't have money and that's why no one looks after us even if your child is dying. we have spent five thousand rupees since we have come here i'm not sad about that i will earn it again but as for my daughter there is no improvement and we don't know what to do.

whatever is within my power i will do it. the hospitals don't even give our met some to those who need it or if someone doesn't have gas relief papers. how does he apply for medication. if a prescription is made for five rupees how is a poor laborer going to spare five rupees for it at the end of the day all of the big ministers of the state are being pin money in their pockets i want to face them even if they put me behind bars and i'm ready to go to jail for these poor people because this hunger is this sickness look at those gutter tents couldn't fall sick by drinking that water. right now people are not getting proper treatment they have built beaked on hospitals but they give priority to people who have money but. poor people get no

preference. bhopal hospital was made for gas victims but treatment is not given in time and people die painfully waiting for treatment. sometimes i feel like there is nothing in our control. there are so many memories and so much pain that comes since the guest. that surviving has become a living hell. before we had no hope that cyber would even survive that we just left everything to god and came to this hospital. slowly her condition has improved and we realize these injections are very powerful . and the doctor told us the same thing about the injections and once this course

is over another will begin and those are supposed to be even better. take. the doctor said she's almost conscious now. when we came here we were very sad and when we leave i just want us to be very happy.

but isn't that rather shaming that for so many years after the terrible tragedy poisonous chemicals were still there name this man said to me no there's no truth in it there was chemical waste there and it was decided that waste could be disposed of recording to the instructions of the supreme court that there was nothing hazardous for human life that you'll immediately or later on the get go and now we are here to release out a study on the toxic legacy of union got a vice factory in hobart and there is a lot of talk in the government that and we have read some reports that the site is not boxing outside the factory he collected eleven groundwater samples we found mostly in one sample which is twenty four times the drinking water standard all the sound of that alerted from the site when heavily contaminated but ultimately a society chlorinated bill gave us insight and what you might not be going to.

believe the robot is not a one time disaster it is a continuing disaster simply because there is a continuing groundwater contamination and. that initial a lot of the hope was to go to museums. why is there the contradiction in what the government is saying every you have to ask the government and i think it's a very good question that the government the indian government is submitting a request for relief. to us and we're saying we support this case we want union carbide to clean up this plant and this pollution at the same time the government is making statements that there is no pollution problem every time an indian politician makes a statement like this this is the union carbide submitted to the american court and says look even their own government says there's no problem this is a class action the case has been pending since one thousand nine hundred nine. the plaintiffs are people from the affected community. people who are suffering from

health effects. from the eighty's onward. christian us see costs in every way possible and for a plant that was already unsafe by design straight away it meant production of safety. all the safety equipment which was provided here such as the refrigeration system for the storage tank where am i see had to be kept at a low temperature for safety reasons was all shut down in may one thousand nine hundred four and on this one. they shut down due to forgive me just to save something like seventy dollars a day which meant that the budget of the method as you sign it dang was unsafe. behind me a storage tank number six hundred and ten this was the m i c storage tank that leaked and the process vent line of this tank was faulty and could not hold the

pressure. for this reason water travelled into the tank while the water entering into the tank may have been the immediate trigger. of the disaster the fact that all of the safety systems were turned off certainly contributing to the disaster the fact that he was not being stored as it was originally required to be stored at zero degrees celcius that fact contributed so that you really had of causes coming together after the accident i found out that the machinery provided by union carbide for the plant was unproven technology they used the equipment verifying it making sure it was safe. because i was working with union carbide india ltd. that's what i regret. but i was not in control of the workers and. everything was in control of higher management. there were criminal charges

for an offense known under indian law as culpable homicide which would be the equivalent of manslaughter and union carbide had been served but had refused to appear to face those criminal charges. with me to day one and. read you know just returned on a trip familiar so i want to take this opportunity to express my deep sympathy to all of those who were involved in the terrible tragedy unfold. and when i first heard of the reports on monday the third of december. they were sketchy at first. by the time tuesday morning. the magnitude of the tragedy. quite apparent friday morning. and we arrived. there was a subdued crowd waiting at the airport to be union carbide chairman warren anderson

but the day's events were to take an extraordinary turn and with dramatic developments almost hourly first mr anderson never got to meet the victims of or indeed his own engineers he was whisked away in a police car to the company's guesthouse in the hills about the town we. came i think he came because it was his responsibility to be here. i think. i would do if i was him i would be responsible mr anderson had taken refuge behind the gates and was definitely not receiving visitors then the local police superintendent drove out to the startling news that mr anderson and two local union carbide executives welcomed and the rest of the police arrested. the arrested mr. and mr anderson. cooper arrested mr. really. there was

a decision. by the world. and everybody knew that it was coming. and. that we were charged with violations of. general who. had been arrested on charges of criminal and constructive. offenses carrying a possible two year jail sentence and theoretically no chance of bail even the company's lawyer could see them as they were confined on the house and. saw the problem. the u.s. government. to try and solve the problem i'm missing a little at the magic pradesh state headquarters a senior official confirmed the government would be seeking compensation for

damages launched a bitter attack on union carbide this government going after a minute. of the tragedy. and knows its. innocent citizens whose lives have been slowed. dramatically affected. by a cruel. on the part of the management of the union. of course he. could be. but he jumped. and has request for extradition of. the u.s. government has denied his request says they were. send warren anderson to face drive. the proposal for the method that so cited black good one anderson i need was

one anderson who was informed about. condition of safety in the plant all this was his boast the knowledge.

resistance is not of politics but a culture. is couldn't get. on its own. cultures of resistance on our team.
